The theft of an automobile is a
comparatively easy thing to accom
plish and increasing numbers of suci
thefts are being daily re)orted. Steal
ing of automobiles has come to be a
systematized business in some sec
tions and stringent methods need to
be 'tdoptd to reduce this sort of
crime. Short s:ntences and small
fines (1o not deter the criminal class
es from taking chances on such an
easy method of gaining a livinz and
heavier sentences need to be passed
ii pon them. When a man faces a long
penitentiary sentence, he Is less like
ly to try his hand at such a game.

W. W. Long. director of extension al
Clemson college. is seeking to havi
the tariff of $2p inr ton on potash re
moved on the grond that the farmer,
of only a few states must foot th(
bill. lie says that if an infant indus,
try needs -,rotection, the entire na
tion rather than a few states shoil
hear the expenze and advocates a
sIuhsidy rather than a tariff. Mr
Long is of course right as to Iotasi
and the same thing applies to all oth
er prodlucts that the Republican tarif
makers Wouod protect. The tariff al
lows the manufacturers. mostly ii
the north, to charge the farmers an
the zeneral pubie more than tles
irchasers woul( have to pay fo
fereign made goods and they get II
benefit in retuirn. The tariff maker
are ini the saddle. however, and ther
is little use to complain. The 1iro
gram of robbery is already laid out.

bile, Just to see if he could do it, and
seemed pleased to find that he could.
Walks With Cane
Motor nerves and muscles of his
left side have given more response to
treatment than was hoped for. Of
course they are not fully active now.
lie still walks with a cane most of
the time but frequently hangs the
crook over him arm and "gors it alone
without my third log." as he puts it.
Mr. Wilson is far from a well man
today; he was far from a well man
when he entered the White House
over eight years ago. But during the
last two years there have been times
when his voice was inaudible and
when lie could not support himself
alone. His condition today shows
more improvement than his family
and friends dared hope for.
There are many angles to Mdr. Wil
son's present (lay psychology. Living
in Vashington and easy of access to
:'arty friends at the capitol he might
give consultation oi party politics,
but he does not. WN'hatever a visi
tor nia'y say in criticism of the Re
publ.ican administration Mr. Willson
never makes a reply. lie never per
mnits any one in his presence to speak
what he regards as "disrespectfully
of the president of the United States."
Somcbody once raised the question
'1!low do your ex-presidlents live?"
Colonel Roosevelt had a comfortable
fortune of his own aulgiented by in
come from writings. Mr. Taft, until
he became chief justice, had from
time to time profitable sources of
inc ome.
Mr. Wilson br-ought with him to
the White House the small savings of
a lifetime, which he preserved.
Duriing his terms in the presidency
his royalties from hooks previo'isly
- written mounted into rather hand
some sums. Singularly enough they
have shown a marked sluip since hc
left the White Hlouse. While he was
Ipresident circumnstances helped him
save mnoney.
' The war and the suspension of so
eial finietions and entertainment werr
quite an Item. It has heen estimated
that the former president's pocket
- hook was at least $25,00 richer be
eause he was not called upon to wine
and (line nuimerous dignitaries and
oflicial persons,
I'pon his modest fortune now he
lives siniply, with an establishment of
only three servants and a "used
Car.''

It was the custom for church-going
people in Japan to give some of their
heir as a free-wUl offering when a
temple was being built. Such a struc
ture at T'okyo had the beams and
rafters held in place by one of these
human-hair cables. Placed end on
end, this human-hair rope measured
4,528 feet long, was seven inches in
diameter and weighed 8,847 pounds,
no fewer than 350,X00 persons contrib
uting before sufficient quantity was
obtained.
The Phoebe, of the Flycatcher Family.
The pholebe. a small, grayish-brown
bird, belongs Io the ilycatcher faimily.
It takes its Minie from its monotonous
call, "pewit. phoebe; phoebe, pewit,"
continuously repeated, as it flys about
in search of a habitation. The phoebe
preys on insects. which it captures
while on the wing, and is therefore of
benefit to farmers. The common
phoebe is also known as pewee and as
pewit. It. however, should not be
confused with the wood pewee, which
is a differet jwcies of flycatcher.
